Over 75,000 people have laughed, enjoyed themselves, and been impressed by Finn Nørbygård's latest hit show, "Finn & Co," which toured the major venues across the country at the beginning of the year. There were 54 performances in total. This time, he is collaborating with two of Denmark's great voices: Rikke Mølgaard and Yasmin Elvira Steenholdt. Together, they deliver a humorous, fast-paced, and, not least, musically stunning show that has received standing ovations from enthusiastic and entertained audiences across the country. Finn can be seen in both familiar and new roles: as the brave Jutland farmer, the smart Copenhagen chauffeur, the dance teacher Esther in a red sequined dress, the friendly Poul Reichardt... to name just a few examples. And, of course, no Finn Nørbygård show would be complete without music. Not only do two great voices reach beyond the edge of the stage, but three—because Finn also sings with his usual convincing power.
